Exaust+ignite Morde
Has anyone else tried this? It's awsome. It allows you to reduce incoming damage from ganks, ignite them, ult the enemy laner, and get a double kill from a gank. Given that you don't have flash or ghost with this, take Stormraiders 12/18/0 so you have a mini ghost spell and tenacity against cc.
It also allows you for time to save enemies from the damage reduction and slow, and increase kill potential from having basically 2 ignites.
For the few that play Morde, here is my reasoning behind these spells:
Morde has low base hp: By using Exaust when they try to all in you when you are low, you slow thier attack speed. Since AS basically multiplies damage, you are dividing thier damage, thus making your low hp less of a weakness.
Morde has bad Attack Speed: Exaust allows you to even the playing field in that aspect. That means you have more time for an AA reset with Q.
Morde has awful Movespeed: Exaust helps keeping the enemy from escaping, allowing you to get your abilities off, and paired with Stormraiders is a reliable gap closer, cc, and assured sustained damage.
Morde has awsome damage: With Exaust and Stormraiders giving you an OP gapvloser+cc+damage reduction, you can get off maximum damage with minimum risk. Than you ignite and e to finish them off by the time Exaust and Stormraiders have finished.
Morde has high sustain: People underestimate Mordekaiser. When they see you with low hp, they more than likely all in you if your lane is pushed a bit. Activate w, Exaust them for the damage reduction, heal with W deactivate, ignite, and destroy.
I've been doing this and people in my elo are just wtfing all over the place. Anyone up to trying this, tell me how you like it, and any tweaks you may think are relevant.
